Prof. O. &. Fowler.

In view of Prof Fowler's approach
ing visit to Fort Worth, the following,
from the Riverside California;
Press will be read with interest:
o. S. Fowler, the veteran phrenolo-
gist, was greeted by full house last
night on his first appearance in our
city. Many of those present had seen
him in his younger days, and many
heads present had passed under his
magic fingers in years gone by.
The doctor is still vigorous and
healthy, and is a living example of the
doctrines of hygiene that he has been
preaching for over fifty years.
His lectures are the condensed wis
dom OF years of practical study. and
use of his methods are not only full of
interest, but are illustrated with Incl
dents and examples that give greater
charm than the presentation of dry
facts alone, and he held his audience
spell-bound till nearly IL o'clock.
His subject last night was "phre-
nology. its proof and uses" in which
he presented az overwhelming array
of facts TO substantiate doctrines,
quoting case after case of former years
and lived to see his advice carried out
to successful termination. He closed
his lecture with an illustration of his
doctrine in which the audience select
ed as subject the editor of the Press
who took Lis place under the profess
sor's hands, who gave him pretty
fair character" for business, love of
Riverside, etc.
Riverside is much honored by the
visit of so distinguished lecturer one
whose name is a household word
wherever the English language is spo-
ken, and we arc glad they appreciate
the honor by filling the Pavilion to
hear him."
Owing to Prof Fowler's old age
this is farewell tour, and no one should
miss this last opportunity Of meeting
and hearing him next week. lie will
lecture at the opera house next Mon
day night free on Phrenology, its
proofs and uses"

United States fish commission, was sunk
in New Bedford harbor by one of these
pugnacious fishes and there are incidents
enough on file to well show them to be
among the possible and to be feared
marine risks.
1t will be seen that Xiphias, as
the naturalists call it, is a veritable
warrior, and when placed before us its
entire makeup points to speed and
activity. 1t would be selected from
among all the fish tribe as swift
privateer, while we might imagine the
shark the manofwar. In general ap-
pearance the swOrdtish resembles the
shark, but the lobes of the tail are equal
and what wonderful rudder it is,
with sweeping lines of great beauty,
forming crescent when detached.
From the upper jaw or nose extends the
cartilaginOus sword covered with
rough skin. 1t is in very large fishes
three or more feet long, and, as we have
seen, terrible weapon. AS might be
supposed, Xiphias has another use for it
besides thrusting at inotfensive sloops
and ships The sword is the weapon of
defense and with which the fish obtains
its food. The swordtsh is a giant
mackerel, or allied to this fish, vet preys
upon it and small fry Of various kinds.
1t follows the great schools North in the
spring, and, moving along upon their
outskirts, dashes in upon them, slash
ing right and left with its sword, leav-
ing a shower of cleaning parts behind.
The swordfsh apparently often kills
for the mere pleasure OF it, only
picking up few of the dismemDered
parts; then dashing again into the
silvery throng in mere wanton sport.
So strong is this habit of striking
with its sword, that when dead
fish has been tossed to one it will strike
at it and attempt to cut before making
meal thereupon This swordsman is
found in nearly all waters In American
borders it rarely attains a length of over
fifteen feet, but off Ceylon and the ada
cent waters, monsters twenty-five or
thirty feet in length are often seen. Some
of them are called sailor fishes, from the
fact that the dorsal fin attains enormous
dimensions; and when the fish is dart
ing along at the surface, resembling the
sail of a boat, though more richly tinted
than are the sails of boats in general
These powerful fishes are often taken
native boats sometimes dashing COM
pletely through them, lmpallng the men
or throwing them into the water.
On our own coast the swordfish is
eagerly sought as food fish, and several
hundred vessels and over thousand
men obtain support from the fishery,
which extends from Maine to Massa-
chusetts The largest fleet of sword
fishermen congregates south of Cape Cod,
and in the waters about Martha's Vine
yard hundreds of the gamy fish are caught.
A sword-tisherman differs but little
St. Landry democrat., 1887-12-10

the pleasant little teas she gives in her apart
ments, and through the session those who re-
ceive invitations to these entertainments
consider themselves lucky. The Speaker
and Mrs Carlisle are much sought after in
society, and their card case is always full of
invitations. The Speaker devotes two or
three nights in each week to dinners and
through the session he is kept almost as
busy as his wife attending to the social fea-
lures of Washington
Another of the well-known hotel livers is
Colonel VIM. R. Morrison, the celebrated
tariff reformer. He has lived at Wizards
Hotel for five or six years, and has become
one of the old standbys there. Mr.. Morri-
son has no children. He and his wife have
pleasant apartments, and often have young
people visiting them. Colonel Morrison,
however, is not given much to society, but
Mrs. Morrison has her reception days, and
as there are a large number of members liv-
ing at Wizards the parlors are always full
much interest in the tariff debates in Con-
gress as her husband. She was remarkably
well read on the subject and studied every
point in the discussion, and was great aid
to her husband in the contest.
With the opening of Congress the social
season begins in earnest and from that time
up to the beginning of Lent members and
their wives are kept busy attending to social
duties, because these duties have as much
political significance to many as the events
in the legislative halls.
There are a number of wonderland men,
too, for that matter-who float in and out
of the social world, and who carry great
weight, simply from their social proml-
hence, in schemes and projects pending be-
fore the national legislature.

IN A SWARM OF BEES.
An Exciting Encounter With One or :
the White Nile,

SchWeinfurth gives the following de-
scription of apainful encounter which he
anil his men once had on the White Nile
with some very small but powerful enc
mics. The boat was being towed BY the
crew. AS the rope was drawn along
through the grass on the banks, it hap
pened that it disturbed swarm OF bees
In moment, like a great cloud they
burst upon the men who were dragging.
every one Of them threw himself head.
long into the water, and hurried to rcgaiD
the boat. The swarm followed at thei4
heels, and in a few seconds filled eyerv
nook and Granny Of the deck. What q
scene Of confusion ensued NAV readily
be imagined.
Without any foreboding of i'll. I was
arranging my plants in my cabin when
! heard all around me a scampcring.
which took at first to be merely the
frolics of my people.
| called out to inquire the meaning OF
the noise, but only got excited gestures
and reproachful looks in answer. The
cry of Bees bees !" soon broke upon
my ear, and proceeded to light pipe.
My attempt was entirely in vain; in
an instant bees in thousands are about
NE, and | am mercilessly stung all over
my face and hands, To no purpose do
try TO protect my face with handker-
chief, and the more violently | fling
my hands about so much the more
violent becomes the impetuosity of the
irritated insects. The maddening pain
is now on my cheek, now in my eve, now
in my hair. The dogs from under nv
bed burst out frantically, overturning
everything in their way
Losing we'll nigh all control over nv
self, fling myself in despair into the
river; | dive down, but all in vain, for
the stings rain down still upon my head.
Not needing the warnings of my people,
| creep through the reedy grass to the
swampy bank. The grass lacerates NV
hands, and try to gain the mainland,
hoping to find shelter in the woods.
All at once four powerful arms seize
me, and drag me back with such force
that ! think | must be chOked in the
mud. | am compelled to go back on
board, and flight is not to be thought Of
In the cooling moisture l had so far
recovered my self-possession that it oc-
Cured to NE to drag out sheet in which
to envelop myself, and this measure at
last gave me some protection, but had
first gradually to crush the bees Which I
had inclosed with me within this cover
ing. Covering down convulsiyely, I
fingered out thus three full hours, willis:
the buZzing continued uninterruptedly,
and solitary stings penetrated periodi-
cally through the linen.
Meantime, by great self-denial and
courage on the part of my people, my
large dog was brought on board to me
and covered with cloths; the other was
unfortunately lost-in all likelihood was
stung to death.
BY degrees every one became equally
passive as myself; at length perfect 81
lence reigned on board; the bees subsidized
into quietness.
That evening. and for the next few
days, felt ready for an encounter with
half score of buifaloes, or a brace of
lions, rather than have anything more to ,
do with bees, and this was sentiment
in which all the ships company heartily
concurred-Ioutrs Compant0n.
